Use your powers for good: iSummit Croatia

Two days to go to grab the opportunity to become a benefactor of the iCommons Summit. And be heralded as a visionary for doing so (we love that!) iCommons is helping to lay the foundation for cultural infrastructure that supports human brilliance to be shared freely, without the constraints of out.dated and suffocating controls that...

re.creating my reality : as elegantly as possible

There’s been such an overwhelming wealth of good stuff happening and outrageously useful stuff to share… but at the heart of the storm there’s been total silence. I wish I could attribute it to fellow edu.revolutionary, the stellar Steli Efti who initiated the OneDayBlogSilence (which unexpectedly erupted into noise and chaos). How counterintuitive and paradoxical...

Monogamy not an option for web entrepreneurs

Speed dating for entrepreneurs in the gorgeous little Mother City* last night >> zoomed into the ubersexy Extreme Hotel for about 28.3nanoseconds >> because I couldn’t bear to be left out of at least a little of the fun at the new OpenCoffeeClub South Africa’s first – started in London by powerhouse Saul Klein. Introduced...

In Celebration of an Inspiration

There's a little more than the standard warm fuzzies in this story >> It's been a wild ride for Tertia lately and instead of crashing, she chose to use the power of participation on her blog to change the fortunes of a family. She's raised hopes and a house for Harrison in 12hours flat. Check...

Overclocking vs. Maximizing ..do I have a problem?

Easy to smirk at this, but I had many moments of disturbing recognition (my fave part is the MC Escher bit.. Weird Al is utter nutter genius without a doubt). I know we’ve all seen it 10^3 of times already, but I had to: in celebration of all things geeky to get in the mood...

Surfing 1.0 ..back in the day

.. my Monday SARocks! musings in honour of where my web AND real.world surfing adventures began.. back in Web 1.0. Huge respect to Dr Spike of Wavescape for helping me get my toes in the water.. This surfing web site seriously ranks among the world’s finest surf portals: so if you do blended reality surfing.....

the geek shall inherit ..the GeekDinner

Geekdinner 2.0 (I know I know, it’s so difficult to resist) is reloaded & ready to go >> I’m not organising this one, it’s in the logistically-gifted hands of Joe Botha of Frogfoot this time. And it’s looking pretty swanky, all kitted out at Barbarella’s in the heart of sophisticado style in Constantia. I’ll be...

great questions lead to great quests

If you woke up, without responsibilities, anyone/anything else to support (remember this is just hypothetical of course), no heavy mortgages, company to run, job to go to. You had resources and time and the refresh button had just been pressed – you somehow stepped elegantly into another parallel life where you’d made different choices. You...

SA Blog Awards shock! sitting at the table with the cool kids

..how I did it, I’m not sure (on my pretty but decidedly malnourished site, starved of attention & daily feeds) but the Hunter of Genius made it through to the final of the SA Blog Awards?! Standing shoulder to shoulder with the legendary ZAblogging iconTertia, the muscular supercharged Stopforth blog, the clearly well-fed ElectricSpaghetti and...
